Uric Acid Tests
The meter provides you with one measuring mode: General.
● Insert a test strip to turn on the meter. The screen will display
“ ”, a flashing “ ” and “UA”.
● After obtaining the first drop of blood, wipe it off. Squeeze again to
obtain another drop of whole blood as the sample for the test.
● The measurement unit used for indicating the concentration of blood
or plasma can either have a weight dimension (mg/dL) or a molarity
(µmol/L). The approximate calculation rule for conversion of mg/dL in
µmol/L is:
mg/dL Times 59.48 = µmol/L
E.g. 10 mg/dL x 59.48 =
594.8 µmol/L
µmol/L
Divided by
59.48
= mg/dL
E.g. 594.8 µmol/L ÷ 59.48
≈ 10 mg/dL
Reference Values
The uric acid readings deliver plasma equivalent results and are
displayed in milligrams of uric acid per deciliter of blood (mg/dL) or
micromoles of uric acid of blood (μmol/L).
Male
3.5 to 7.2 mg/dL (208 to 428 μmol/L)
Female
2.6 to 6 mg/dL (155 to 357 μmol/L)
